Flying up the Sound of Islay…

The boat seems to have found some sort of tidal charge, or possibly just a kindly wind up the Sound of Islay and has fair romped the last few miles. To my untutored eye they seem to have made significant ground on the leading boats slogging up the Sound of Jura. Keep watching the nail-biter here. Remember, if they get to Corpach around the same time as the other boats, they have a very good chance of overall victory. Crispin and Stewart had a blinder in the Lakes, after a steady effort in Wales. This may have blown their legs to pieces, but the psychological effect of their win on Leg 2 on them will be wonderful, and assuming their competitors know the split times, they’ll be looking with worried respect at this team of impressive first-timers.
